Recipes call for oil or broth being "divided". What does that mean?

Thanks!

I am cooking Christmas dinner for myself, my husband, my parents and my in-laws. I want to make it a few courses so was thinking of making either a soup or salad as the second course (after some appetizers). One thought was a cream of onion soup or a baked potato soup. Or, do I make a simple garden salad for each person?
In everyone's opinion what is best. Or, can anyone give me any other ideas? I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks!

Hi everyone,

We have a bread maker in our house that I would like to have see some action again. The recipes that I have for the bread maker call for shortening, and I am wondering, is it possible to substitute a canola oil or something similar for the shortening? We are trying to live our lives as trans-fat free as possible at our house, and I don't want to be stuck with a container of disgusting Crisco on our hands. What are the properties of shortening in baking as well, so I can know what they do? Thanks!

We bought an 18 lb. turkey for Christmas today, the package said "fresh" & it hadn't been frozen yet. This is my first year doing a Christmas turkey, so I am scared that if I freeze it before then, it won't thaw in time (being I have no clue how thawing times work with turkeys!) The package says "sell OR freeze by December 28, 2008" Will it be okay just leaving it in the refridgerator until Christmas Eve morning? (Which is when we'll start marinating it?) Or do I need to freeze it? I'm not trying to get the whole family sick here LOL! There is a 1-800 number on the package (Honeysuckle Farms) but I sat on hold a lot longer than I had wanted to earlier, & ended up hanging up hoping to get a faster response here. Any help is appreciated! THANKS!

Pardon my being direct, but I'll find myself burping up the hard boiled eggs, but not other types. Could it have something to do with the molecular structure of the different types of eggs? My partner cannot eat any type of egg as she cannot digest them. However, she'll be fine if she eats something that was made with an egg in it, like a cake, for example. Perhaps that is just a question of quantity? Just curious...

I'm making red velvet cookies for Christmas this year, and I'm an amateur baker. Can I replace the vegetable oil with canola oil, since it's a little healthier? Will the texture change at all if I do? Thanks in advance!

I have a great simple recipe for fresh salsa that everybody at work and home loves. Since it's the Christmas season, and everybody at work is giving small little gifts I thought I'd give out some cans of my fresh home-made salsa. For the fresh version, I don't peel the tomatoes. For the canning process, do the tomatoes have to be peeled? I don't want to go through the extra work of peeling them if I don't have to. Canning the salsa will be enough work in itself.

My concern is that I just don't want the cans of salsa to go bad because I left the skins on. I don't think they should go bad because the skins would go through the boiling process just like the rest of the tomato would, but this is my first time canning so I wanted to be sure.

Anybody canned tomatoes with the skins still on and it worked?

Thanks!!!

I have a recipe for caramel sauce, but it is not working.
5 cups sugar
1 cup water
1 cup cream

Heat sugar and water, boil until amber coloured/hard ball stage
Add cream and stir until combined.

*The recipe worked once with smaller proportions, but I can't get it to work again ... either the syrup crystalizes or when I add the cream I get a lumpy/separated mess that is too light and doesn't taste like caramel.

I'd love an answer from someone who has actually made caramel sauce with any tricks that work (so I can stop wasting time and cream!)

Thanks.

When I bake cookies they always come out of the oven tasting more like cakes and being really huge
Like example 1
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g270/evilaphrodite/DSC00214.jpg
which have since been murdered and thrown in the bin

I adjusted the size a little (well a lot) and the next batch came out kind of better but still looked like cake but were harder on top hard enough at the bottom
example 2
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g270/evilaphrodite/DSC00215.jpg
(they're upside down btw)

so do I just need to make them smaller and they'll stop turning out like cake? and more like cookies!

I've tried all my life to avoid all products who's origin stems from a company that tests on animals and I've come to the conclusion that I'd have to live in a cave, eat moss and drink rainwater to achieve this.

I get to thinking, what's the point of trying when virtually everyone else goes out and buys these products anyway?

So do you avoid buying products tested on animals? Do you even bother looking?

I know herbs and spices can do as substitutes but most of them are not available in our place.

I am a "bouncer" and help provide a safe environment at an upscale club. I get paid hourly but why do people not take care of those who go out of their way to make your evening that much better. Not so much the general public but those who have bottle service..... I'll take your girl through the crowd to the toilet, only to return to an empty handshake, or remove a nuisance and not even a thank you..... reasons please..... I tip generously. Why does it not come back?
